"You're missing out," Gus said, glancing at her again. He couldn't really guess at her expression, though, "Take your brothers out, I bet you guys'd have a great time."
It struck him as odd that Lucy didn't seem to have a shopping list of friends. Maybe that was his own assumptions shining through. Everyone in a small town knew each other, sure, but it was probably out of line to think everyone was friends as a result. Still. He liked Lucy. Made sense that at least a few others would, to.
The offer to show her was on the tip of his tongue, but he couldn't help the nagging feeling that he was already towing the line of propriety. He was an elected official, and... what? He couldn't snow mobile with another adult? Maybe it was just more assumptions showing - he thought of her more as a kid than an adult, and it colored his perception of their interactions. Not especially fair to Lucy, that.
"C'mon," he chided, hoping he didn't brush a sore spot, "You don't have a boyfriend to coerce? I find that hard to believe."
That, at least, was completely honest. An independent, attractive young woman who could cook? Gus didn't see any issues on his end.
